LITERACY

Rationale

In CTRD 3000, we had the opportunity to tutor a first grader in a local school. Every week I would create a lesson plan and instruct the student in phonics. This experience taught me the importance of literacy in the classroom. Literacy gives students a cornerstone for learning of which they can build off. I learned that teaching reading is difficult, but so rewarding when the student succeeds. Linked below are some of the lesson designed I created for my CTRD class, each lesson is designed for readers at different stages. Below I have included a link to the index of the designs my fellow students created.
